We kick off a sub-section of Podcast On Fire dubbed The Versus-Series, where we place content, characters and theme in two respective movies against each other. The first installment concerns Wong Fei-Hung, as envisioned by Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers respectively. 1974’s The Skyhawk starring Kwan Tak-hing as Wong Fei-Hung in one of his many appearances as the classic character is up first and from 1973, we’ll review and discuss Master Of Kung Fu starring studio veteran Ku Feng. With Kenny B and Phil G of Eastern Film Fans.co.uk.

The Alan Tam Crapping Hour concludes. First up, the sequel to Once Upon A Time A Hero In China called Master Wong Vs Master Wong. Featuring Alan Tam as a rather useless Wong Fei Hung and really the Wong Fei Hung no one asked for but we got anyway. To cap it all off, we go back to 1982 and ghost-comedy shenanigans from Cinema City with an added special effects make-up talent from the West in the form of Tom Savini. We therefore conclude the Alan Tam series with our review of Till Death Do We Scare. With Kenny B and Eastern Film Fans.co.uk head honcho Phil G.

In this episode, we take a look at a Wong Fei Hung origin story that’s also closer to the origins of Lau Kar-leung’s directing career. You’ll find out during our review of 1976’s Challenge Of The Masters if Lau the filmmaker has evolved. Also, a look back on the Stephen Chow shaolin soccer comedy hit appropriately called… Shaolin Soccer. With Kenny B and Mike Maley.

The Alan Tam crapping hour with Kenny B and Phil G returns! We take a look at part 1 of Taylor Wong’s gangster saga Rich And Famous and thentalk the Wong Fei Hung that no one asked for in the form of Alan Tam starring in the comedy Once Upon A Time A Hero In China.

Welcome back to The Dynasty Report, this time tackling and discussing the 2014 high profile productions Kung Fu Jungle starring Donnie Yen and the latest movie featuring Wong Fei-Hung: Rise Of The Legend. No Jet Li this time around but a new Wong Fei-Hung so there’ll be talks of how this reboot fares. Hosted by Kenny B, with reviews and discussion of the movies by the doctor David Lam and live from Hong Kong, not in the run down, grimey cinema we named this show after, Paul Fox.

Stoo and Andy screw the cap on the journey through the Once Upon A Time In China– series with Once Upon A Time In China And America. We then keep things even by discussing Yuen Woo-Pings Iron Monkey, featuring the adventures of the young Wong Fei-Hung! Tweet, twat, tate, fellate and enjoy!
